SUMMARY:Propeller presents New Work by Jacques Descoteaux & Andres Vosu
DESCRIPTION:Night-time\, Day-time | Jacques Descoteaux\nThe exhibition Night-time\, Day-time is intended as a metaphor for the times in which we live. The darkened sky and choppy sea depicted by Jacques Descoteaux could evoke the climate upheavals\, socio-economic tensions and conflicts of our era. Yet the luminous reflections and clear skies that feature in other works offer a glimmer of hope. Jacques maintains an ambiguity: night\, day\, night\, day. It is up to each viewer to find meaning in it\, to recognize their own story. \nThe works in this exhibition\, like most of Descoteaux’s paintings\, draw inspiration from the landscape\, the memory of a moment\, or the impression left by a glance towards the sky or the sea. His paintings thus become abstract landscapes\, straddling the boundary between reality and emotion. \nCorrugation Reformulation | Andres Vosu\nCorrugation Reformulation was created due to my ongoing experimentation  with corrugated cardboard. My previous work with corrugated cardboard created mostly 2-dimensional works. For this gallery show\, I produced some works that were three-dimensional. \nI became determined to find out exactly how sculptural I could get using this material. A few of these works became more than only about shape and form\, as I attempted to add conceptualism. \nFor other works\, I distressed or flattened the corrugations. Also\, some works ended up being somewhat brutalist\, as I did not apply any paint to them. Finally\, for me\,  Corrugation Reformulation will continue to be a creative direction to develop further.

SUMMARY:Where We’re at Now by The Gibson Girls
DESCRIPTION:Where We’re at Now – Another Conversation includes new environmentally-based artwork by each of the artists\, as well as two group projects. In Roundtable (2025)\, the artists experimented with the circle in form and substrate while working together outdoors\, as they had on canoe trips for thirty years. The group’s 2018-2022 mail art collaboration (600+ images) will also be shown in a new interactive iteration. \nThrough their long history together\, the Gibson Girls each embody the ability to support\, challenge\, and learn from one another. This exhibition opens their conversation to others as a gesture of hope through communication and understanding in our continuing fraught times. \nWorks by: \nYael Brotman\, Karen Curry\, Liz Parkinson\, Snaige Sileika and M.J. Steenberg.

SUMMARY:Propeller presents Photo-based Works by Friedrichsen and Patella
DESCRIPTION:Ruin\, Refuge\, Resistance | Peter Friedrichsen\nThis exhibition reflects on the metamorphosis of Toronto’s Leslie Street Spit\, including what is now Tommy Thompson Park\, tracing its evolution from landfill waste into a place of ecologically complex habitats. Through natural processes and human intervention\, the Spit is now shared by wildlife and city residents alike—used for walking\, cycling\, birdwatching\, and quiet retreat—a landscape shaped by both wildlife and human activity.  \nIncorporating light-sensitized plant proteins\, the handmade prints are created using pigments ground from brick and charcoal gathered from the site\, establishing an aesthetic and physical connection to a place shaped by histories of use. \nPeter Friedrichsen is a Toronto-based photographer and alternative process printmaker known for his experimental approach and minimalist aesthetic in image making. His work reinterprets historical photographic printing techniques\, exploring how materials\, surfaces\, and processes shape the interpretation of the image. \nHot Spots | Frances Patella\nMy photo-based mixed-media work explores time\, transience\, and transformation. \nThe City of Toronto conducts prescribed burns to regenerate the Oak Savannahs. The urban nature of the Golden Horseshoe has squeezed these rare endangered ecosystems into specially designated areas\, including High Park in Toronto. Fire stimulates the germination of Savannah species and controls invasive ones. During the burn events\, the Savannahs are transformed into ephemeral places by fire and smoke. I have photographed these landscapes\, which transition through states of destruction and recreation\, capturing serial and incremental changes.  In Hot Spots\, I have used elements of the Savannahs\, including burnt wood\, to create three-dimensional scenes\, incorporating orthographic film and gel transfers\, from protests and other “hot spots”. \nFrances Patella\, born in Italy\, resides in Toronto.  Her photo-based work explores transformation in the landscapes of prescribed burns. She has received numerous grants from the Ontario and Toronto Arts Councils for Artists in Education and Mid-Career projects. Frances won Best In Show and Purchase Awards for the City of Vaughan juried exhibitions. She holds a BFA from York University\, a B.ED. from the University of Toronto and studied Visual Arts at the University of Western Ontario with painter Paterson Ewen. Frances also studied drawing and art history in Florence\, Italy\, through the University of Windsor. Frances’ work has been widely collected in public\, private and corporate collections and reproduced on magazine and CD covers.

SUMMARY:Propeller presents New Works by Ruptash\,  Prevost & Rawlins
DESCRIPTION:Propeller Art Gallery presents… \nApril 15 – May 3\, 2026Opening Reception: Saturday\, April 18\, 2 – 5 pmDemonstration: Sunday\, April 26\, 2 pmArtist Talk: Sunday\, May 3\, 2 pm \nminimal | liminal | Susan Ruptash\nminimal | liminal explores the smallest details of heritage Japanese washi\, paying homage to the incredible craft that has been practiced in Japan for over 1400 years\, resulting in material of breathtaking beauty\, surprising strength\, and a subtle array of wonderful natural tones. Small moves and minimal interventions encourage the washi to take a lead role. Sometimes\, what is not there is as important as what is—the invisible ingredients of time and thought embed a layer of meaning to these simple works. \nTo Whisper in Colour | Dominique Prévost and Tricia W Rawlins\nTo Whisper in Colour brings together paper-loving artists\, Dominique Prévost and Tricia W Rawlins. Both experiment with the possibilities of paper through different media\, techniques and processes\, slowly unearthing each paper’s unique personality. \nThe exhibition is an ode to movement and beauty where textures\, patterns\, colours\, lines and empty space gather\, and we encourage the viewer to peek at this quiet conversation between the artist and their muse.

SUMMARY:Intangible Experiences;An Abstract Art Group Show
DESCRIPTION:Intangible Experiences is an exhibition of abstract art mounted in honour of the late painter Gwen Tooth\, whose canvases anchor the show. The community’s response to our call for submissions describing an emotional or intellectual experience through form\, texture\, colour\, gesture\, and line was overwhelming. The exhibition features 89 works in the gallery and 88 works online. \nGwen Tooth (1945 – 2025)Gwen was an active member of Propeller from 2013 – 2025. Her exuberant abstract works resulted in many series of paintings that embodied her interest in the abstraction of still-life subjects\, landscapes\, and the forces of nature. She used colour and expressive brushstrokes to transform the gallery space into a vibrant and compelling environment. \nGwen’s works also charted her personal journey\, and she described her paintings as being “as much outer landscapes as the inner scapes of my mind and soul.”

SUMMARY:From the Watershed by Menard & Drawing the Line William Lottering
DESCRIPTION:A profound love and respect for nature and the environment influence Liz Menard. She is interested in natural and manufactured landscapes and the native and invasive species that struggle to survive and thrive in these environments. Menard has long been fascinated by watersheds and the development (natural and unnatural) of these special places. Protecting\, retaining and sustaining environmental biodiversity is critical and a recurring theme in her work. She remains optimistic as long as we continue to work together to protect\, care for and nurture our environment. Her ideas and concerns are expressed in her etchings\, relief prints\, artist’s books and clay pieces.  \nThe focus of this exhibition is Toronto’s Don River Watershed. She explores the watershed on foot\, from the train\, in her canoe and sitting in her own backyard. \nLiz Menard is a printmaker\, book artist and arts educator\, endlessly curious about how our relationship to nature shapes our sense of place and our sense of self. Resiliency in nature and society is a recurring theme in her work.  Watersheds\, such as the GTA’s Don River Watershed\, have provided endless opportunities to explore her recurring themes in print\, books and clay. Menard has exhibited extensively in Canada and internationally. Menard’s work is held in many public\, post-secondary libraries\, private and corporate collections. \nThe selection of drawings in this exhibition shows earlier themes related to the main panel The God of War (2026)\, William Lottering’s reaction to recent political conflict and aggression. Over three panels\, The God of War shows a moment of attack. A missile charges over a mountainous landscape where a volcano is erupting. From his stage the artist\, wearing a spiral shell helmet\, recognizes the projectile\, while a female figure behind him sees a machine-like bird – or is it a fighter jet? – attacking a family standing on a bridge\, from the air.  On the artist/warrior’s palm\, the lines of fate suggest a questionable outcome. \nWilliam Lottering grew up in Johannesburg\, South Africa. He has been living and working in Ontario since 1991. Early in his career\, Lottering was a sculpture instructor at the Pretoria Art\, Ballet and Music School and then taught at the University of Pretoria and Tshwane University in South Africa. Later\, William defected to the broadcasting world\, for a decade as radio announcer and producer at the SABC. Here he produced art programmes\, wrote scripts\, read news on national radio\, conducted interviews\, did voice work for TV\, produced documentaries and directed more than 200 radio dramas for Radio Suid-Afrika. During this period William was also an arts critic on radio (RSG) and for INSIG (INSIGHT)\, a South African news magazine.

SUMMARY:Eureka! A Mixed Media Group Show
DESCRIPTION:Eureka! A Mixed Media Group Show\nFebruary 11 — March 1\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, February 14th\, 2 to 5 pmArtist Talks: Sunday\, March 1st\, 2 pm \nThis group exhibition brings together over 100 artists working in mixed media to explore the expressive possibilities that emerge through combination\, layering\, and material dialogue. Process often remains visible\, materials retain their presence\, and meaning arises through tension\, accumulation\, and transformation.  \nTogether\, these works celebrate the rich history of mixed media artwork. From contemporary practice to prehistoric art\, mixed media has been an integral part of artistic expression. Indeed\, many of the earliest cave paintings were mixed media artworks. They combined incisions on stone with mineral pigments\, animal fat\, charcoal\, and clay. When modern artists\, such as Odilon Redon and Hannah Höch\, created mixed media works\, they built upon a long tradition.  \nEureka! celebrates the rich heritage and creative depth of mixed media.

SUMMARY:Propeller present new work by Daniel Etigson & Elizabeth Greisman
DESCRIPTION:Propeller Art Gallery presents \nJanuary 21 –  February 8\, 2026Saturday\, January 24: Opening Reception 2 – 5 pm & Artist Talks 3 pm \nLove Your Shadow | Daniel Etigson\nThrough a collection of prints and hand-bound books\, and scrolls\, Daniel Etigson’s Love Your Shadow exhibition explores the shadow as a source of beauty\, protection\, and love. \nThe exhibition contains original essays\, books\, poems\, and graphic works that draw upon a range of visual and literary traditions\, including ancient Sumerian\, Akkadian\, Hebrew\, Syriac\, Pali\, Sanskrit\, Buddhist\, and Japanese texts. Viewers of the exhibition will experience Daniel’s original books and graphic works inspired by these traditions\, and they will leave with a broadened understanding of the visual and literary history of the shadow’s beauty and power. \nDaniel Etigson is a graphic artist currently based in Toronto. His work focuses on screen prints and hand-bound art books. He’s an Artist Member and Board Member of Propeller Art Gallery\, a member of People of Print\, and a Studio Member and Board Member of Open Studio: Centre for Contemporary Printmaking. \nFurthermore To Ocean Voyages\, Mermaids & Canadian Landscapes | Elizabeth Greisman\nThis exhibition is my nod and expression in painted form to both Canadian landscape near water and to the landscape and the mythological creatures who live in reality rather than fable and verse\, under the sea. \nThe mysticism and the oral tradition of mythology depicting life under the surface of water are celebrated in every ocean in most countries. We have the Mermaid\, the Merman\, the Sirens\, the Shape shifters and More. Most countries have their own oral tradition of telling stories of life under the sea. I have always imagined that Venice\, Italy\, is Mermaid Headquarters. \nAll paintings and sketches are in oils. The two series running simultaneously through this exhibition are complemented by the sculptural forms of my hand-painted wedding gowns in mermaid attire. The gowns are ready to be worn\, under the sea. \nElizabeth Greisman is an international visual artist\, curator and educator based in Toronto\, Canada. She has developed collaborations with dancers\, poets\, musicians\, actors\, physicians and cooks and is the Founding Director of the Artist Cooperative of Canada and the Nascent Art Science Collective. Her work has been the subject of a solo exhibition at the Canadian Embassy in Dublin\, Ireland and group exhibitions supported by the Canadian Embassy in Buenos Aires\, Argentina.

SUMMARY:Stories: Emerging Members Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Propeller’s Stories: Emerging Members Exhibition features recent work by Lex Barrie\, M ert Kann Burnz\, Tiffany Duong\, and Abby Gowland. \nThese stories diverge in content and approach. Lex frames fleeting\, colourful moments of everyday joy\, creating photographs that transform ordinary details into small acts of poetry and resilience. Mert builds stories of harmony through painting and sculpture\, revealing beauty in the tension between the industrial and the organic. Tiffany paints the layered stories of modern womanhood\, weaving nostalgia and critique into imagery that reimagines memory and challenges cultural expectations. Abby’s prints explore personal identity through a feminist lens\, using vulnerability\, humour\, and narrative to interpret lived experience.

DESCRIPTION:Propeller Art Gallery presents… \nNovember 12 – 30\, 2025Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 15\, 1 – 6 pmArtist Talk: Sunday\, November 30\, 3 pm \nNothing But Blue Skies | Karen Klee-Atlin\nIn this series\, Nothing But Blue Skies\, I maintain that while skies may not always be blue and clear\, we see the same things when we look up. In these prints\, I explore the colours of sky\, land\, and water. Most of these prints depict Rabbit Lake\, in Northern Ontario\, where my family has a cabin. The area has been a touchstone for my work in the past. There are also a couple of nods to my love of Seattle in prints of boats moored at the Center for Wooden Boats. \nMuch of my work depicts the natural world\, and for close to 15 years\, I have worked mainly in reductive woodcuts\, linocuts and monoprints made from used plates. I began as a painter\, but I have found my perfect medium with these techniques. Karen Klee-Atlin is originally from the Toronto area\, where she studied at the Ontario College of Art. Currently based in Toronto\, she teaches at Open Studio and in her private studio located in Cabbagetown. \nUp Down Strange | David Griffin\nThese drawings extend my fixation with geometry as an incredibly fruitful drawing method — reductive but expansive at the same time. The purpose for Art\, the reason we do it\, is understanding; understanding how language works as a sense conductor or understanding what we can say to each other\, among other things.  \nIn a graphical search for understanding\, I overload my paper with colour\, and with compositions of growth and natural things. The constraints of geometric drawing are complicated by my love of water flowing\, things growing\, fire licking\, and coils coiling. I view all the drawings as shallow piles where stories may be stored. \nDavid is currently an Assistant Professor at OCAD University in Toronto\, Canada\, and is Vice-Chair of the University’s Research Ethics Board. He holds a PhD from the Glasgow School of Art\, an MFA from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn\, and a BFA from Parsons School of Design in New York. \nMore Than Meets the I  | Joseph Muscat\nThis body of work stylistically follows my earlier work in its use of random images\, some new and some repetitive\, against various backdrops\, executed primarily through an automatist painting approach and the use of stencils.  \nOne common thread that weaves throughout my paintings is the ubiquitous presence of the cabin\, which I have been including in my work for the last forty-plus years. This simple\, isometric structure can conjure up a whole array of meanings from the warmth of home\, family or country to the more sinister praxis of homelessness or domestic conflicts. \nJoseph Muscat is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art\, AOCA 1981\, University of Toronto\, B.Ed. 1975 and the Glendon College\, York University\, B.A.Hons. 1973. He has also studied at the École des beaus arts d’Aix-en-Provence\, France and did a series of lithography workshops at the Atelier des réalisations graphique de Québec and at the Tailleurs d’images in Quebec City. \nHe has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions in Canada\, the United States\, Europe\, South America and South Korea. He is widely collected in public\, corporate and private collections and has received project\, travel and exhibition support grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.  His art has been reproduced in art books\, textbooks\, novels and magazine covers.

SUMMARY:Propeller Art Gallery presents Silent Revolution by Nahal Bahrman
DESCRIPTION:Propeller Art Gallery presents recent paintings by Nahal Bahrman.  In Silent Revolution\, figures drift\, dance\, and float with their eyes closed\, movements that suggest both intimacy and defiance. These bodies seem suspended between gravity and release\, embodying a revolution that happens quietly\, yet powerfully\, within.​​ \nTheir closed eyes turn away from the external world\, choosing instead an inward vision—one that whispers of freedom\, resilience\, and unseen transformation. In their weightless motion\, silence itself becomes a form of expression\, a space where resistance and renewal unfold beyond words. \nNahal Bahrman is a Toronto-based painter whose work inhabits the space between movement and stillness\, exploring the inner life of her subjects. Through figurative and expressive compositions\, she captures fleeting moments of emotion\, breath\, and suspended time\, where figures drift\, float\, or dance. Her paintings invite viewers into intimate\, contemplative worlds — spaces where silence becomes palpable\, motion carries meaning\, and the invisible rhythms of human experience are revealed. Exhibited internationally\, her work reflects a deep engagement with presence\, introspection\, and the poetic gestures that connect us to ourselves and to one another.

SUMMARY:Propeller presents New Works by Cesar Forero & Michelle Letarte
DESCRIPTION:Mariposa by Cesar Forero \nThis project begins by recalling the word “Mariposa” (“Butterfly”)\, which in Colombian culture is used dismissively to insult a man who has feminine mannerisms. By using this word\, the intention is to humiliate the recipient as if it were an act of lowering their social status. The perpetrator’s goal is to imply that having a certain mannerism is a reason to insinuate that this person is less welcome or deserves mistreatment because of a personality trait. \nI have created a series of artworks depicting the different facets of evolution from caterpillar to butterfly. I have also created a butterfly costume with the intention of weakening this aggressive verbal act and social discrimination. I think the word\, when referring to a lepidopteran\, actually loses all its weight. The lepidopteran phase of some insects refers to the stage when these beings are most showy and colourful\, with large\, striking wings. It also reflects the success of a great metamorphic process and the adult phase that not all manage to reach. CF \nAntigua\, Muros de Arte by Michelle Letarte \nA recent trip to Guatemala involved three days in La Antigua\, the capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala. Totally enthralled by the arty and complex history beyond the ancient façades\, I took hundreds of photos while walking the streets of Antigua and viewing as many nunneries\, cathedrals\, monasteries\, schools\, and colourful houses as possible. Selected photos were transferred to board and to recycled textured canvases to recreate the effects of aged walls and tell their stories. After painfully removing the paper layers and leaving behind the ink imprint\, acrylic paint was applied to strengthen the vibrant and true colours of walls and facades of La Antigua. Other images were directly collaged and highlighted with vivid acrylic. All the artworks bear the name of their original location and wish to convey to viewers the amazing history and hidden emotions rendered by the ancient walls of La Antigua. ML

SUMMARY:Collage by Beverely Daniels & Paintings by Anne McAlear
DESCRIPTION:Grids | Beverely Daniels \n“I have gravitated toward making grids for the past few years. In doing art\, when I feel the nudge to go in a certain direction I go there\, but I have been wondering why this particular orientation of mine persists. I may have not answered this question\, but in attempting to do so I have come to appreciate better the effect of one’s environment on what one makes. Walking in a North American city with its insistent grids\, its repetition of rectangles\, is bound to inculcate a quadrilateral bias in one’s mental image bank.” \nShape Shift | Anne McAlear \n“Making abstract art was not easy for me.  My previous work was in realism. I chose to move to abstract because I fell in love with the work of the American abstract expressionists. I chose it because it challenges me. I love how colours play off of each other; I love texture and immediacy. The constant trial of getting this down on paper or panel that both satisfies and confounds me. \nI work in a variety of mediums\, cold wax and oil\, pastels or oil sticks. I like the unpredictable outcomes that usually usurp my vision of what the work was to be\, but usually can bring me better surprises.”
